Using Euclid's algorithm as an example, Dr. Lamport walked the audience through how an algorithm can be expressed precisely yet simply with mathematics. Described by ancient Greek mathematician Euclid ...

Algorithm is gonna get you: Cathy O'Neil's Weapons of Math Destruction explores how we're trapped by Big Data O'Neil's book is a primer on the ethical risks of Big Data and an algorithmically ...

While we understand math through the base-10/decimal numeral system, computers see things differently through base-2/binary. You can see the difference when you take a look at the real number line ...

Jason Brown, however, saw in Berry's rhythmic moves a love of the mathematics in the music and the specific patterns on which it was based. "I was trying to figure out what he was doing, and realized ...

The act of knowing algorithms plays an important role in procedural fluency—recognizing a problem, flexibly choosing a strategy to solve it, and executing it—but it is often confused with ...

At issue was an algorithm called Q* (pronounced “Q-star”), which has allegedly been shown to solve certain grade-school-level math problems that it hasn’t seen before.

If OpenAI's new model can solve grade-school math, it could pave the way for more powerful systems. This story is from The Algorithm, our weekly newsletter on AI. To get stories like this in your ...
